Nick walked out of the shower in just a towel wrapped around his waist and he heard a low whistle " ****, nick your looking fine". Keria winked and continued rummadging through his cubboards for something to eat.

Nick walked over to her and wrapped his arms around her and gave her a little kiss on the cheek. " Ewww, Nick your all wet, now im all wet."

Keria Glared at Nick "Awww, im sorry baby". Nick pouted " Kerias not mad is she?" Nick asked with the most adorable innocent look he had ever had.

"Nick your lucky your so cute" Keria tapped him on the nose " Or else you would be toweless by now, and outside poseing in the nude. For the public." Keira giggled.

Nick gulped thinking 'I really found my match, she wouldn't do that would she'

"Keria, you wouldn't do that to me would you, im sorry you just looked so cute, standing there in my jersey, I couldn't help but give you a hug." nick asked while taking her hand and twirling her around so she was trapped in his arms.

Keria Couldn't help but smile " Nick your such a goof, Of course im not mad,
I could get use to you walking out of the bathroom soaking wet, with flushed cheeks from doing god knows what." Keria gave him her sexy smirk. " I really like the fact that you cant wait until your dry to hug me."

Nick smiled and dipped her lower in his arms and kissed her " What can I say im a huggable person." Then lifted her back up.

nick sat down and polished an apple, snickering at Keria rummaging through his cubboards. She would open one and find it empty, and get the cutest disapointed look on her face. Nick couldn't hold in the snicker when she opened up his fridge and her look was so funny when she saw all that was in there was Beer, and Water, and milk and the milk was expired a week ago.

"Babe, what are you looking for?" Nick said between bites of his Apple.

"nothing, I looked im done looking. nick have you heard of a grocery store?" Keria asked exhasperated as she sat at the table, and pouted.

"Yes, but I dont know if you realised but im nick carter and a trip to the grocery store, isn't always the most pleasant. I go in for milk and come out with missing shoes and ripped pants, and chunks of my hair missing. Milk just isn't worth it. Who knew 16 year olds were that agressive?" Nick chuckled and laughed when he saw Keria pouting.

"Nick, it wouldn't be so funny if it wasnt true!" Keria sighed " Well how about this I need to take Nickers for a walk so I go and get you some food. I wouldn't want the *cute one* to starve.

Nick rolled his eyes " Ohhh, your sense of humour is just off the charts today."

Keria smirked " Just like yours".

"I meant that Keria, your not funny." Nick stated with his hands on his hips.

"I know you did." Keria said taking his apple out of his hand and taking a bite. Nick oblivious to the burn that keria just gave him.

"Hey I was eating that." Nick looked like a little kid who just got his lollipop stolen.

"I know Nick, but share its the only thing to eat. Besides I cant live off a penut jelly sandwich and your kisses forever." Keria put her hand on her head for dramatic effect.

nick gave her a quick kiss, tasting the apple on lips and tounge. " I know how to share." nick whispered huskily into her ear.

Nick was about to kiss her again when the phone rang...

Keria giggled "Saved by the bell." And ran away from nick while, she went and looked for her clothes.

"Babe, where did you throw my clothes?" Nick put his hand over the reciever

"Uhh, they are on my side of the bed somewheres, you dont need to change you look hot in that."

"Okay, so you want me to go to the store, wearing only your jersey and my thong?" Keria asked while searching under the bed.

Nick walked in to find her *** in the air " **** if I only had a camera!" Nick raised his eyebrows and dangled her clothes in his hand.

He then heard a NICKOLAS GENE CARTER....
Nick lifted his hand " Hold on a sec, man."

Keria looked up and snatched them " Nick your an ***." Keria rolled her eyes and nick smiled " I always take the oppurtunity babe, dont be mad you looked so cute on all 4's" Nick chuckled and ducked the pillow being thrown his way.

Keria walked over to him and smiled " To bad your not going to see me on all 4's very often. Now get your sexy @ss in there and write a grocery list. Or im gonna head back to my house and eat there and let you starve, or give yourself to all the little girls that wait for you in grocery stores knowing you need to eat." Keria smiled and kissed him on the cheek.


Nick heard laughter errupting through the phone "Nick, A.J's right shes sassy, she got you whipped. I bet you anything you are looking for a pen and peice of paper." Kevin laughed

"I am not!" Nick lied through his teeth '**** it where did I put my freakin note book.' nick asked himself while holding onto the phone, and searching for any writing untensils. Hoping to god his towel didn't fall down in the process.

Kevin shook his head while setting up for there annual poker game, they had one poker game once a month, where just the guys get together and play. Kevin shook his head in sadness. cause this was going to be the first one where nick wouldn't be too. Kevin taught nick how to play, now nicks normally the one giving kev the tricks. Hes the master of the poker face now. Kevin smiled to himself saying out loud 5,4,3,2,1

"YES" nick shouted

Kevin smiled knowingly at his little brother through the reciever of the telephone " you found it didn't ya little brother."

"Yea" Nick realised years ago there was no use in lying to Kevin, He always knew. Nicks real dad had eyes in the back of his head. But Kevin has xray vision, or has learned to read minds.

Kevin laughed, "A.J owes me 10 bucks."
Nick sighed " your not betting already, Kev the game doesn't start until 9".

Kevin shook his head " Yea, Man thats in like 30 mins here nick."

"Ohh right" Nick smiled sheepishly. " I can't belive im missing the monthly poker game."

"Naw, your not gonna miss it, were going to film like 10 mins of it for the nic cam."

"Dude, you cant do that its the nic cam, IM Nick and you are Kevin. Its not the Kev cam." Nick pretended to be mad.

"Nick, you forgot to film something before you left so me and the boys are covering your ***! So yea so where just gonna say this is dedicated to you while your away doing some promo stuff. Speaking of, when are you going to start that. you have been there a month and Johnnys *****ing cause you missed your biggest radio interview. Now hes even more pissed that your getting a divorce, and being back to a playboy. He says he doesn't want to have to deal with another paris or Mandy situation." Kevin said all in one long speel.

Nick shook his head " Kev tell Johnny to calm his *** down, Its not like that! Number one its not my fault there was a major hurricane that cancelled the interview and I dont know when its rescheduled for cause they haven't gotten back to me. I called them and left a Message but no one answered."

Kevin heard the anger in his voice " Nick, calm down Johnny's just looking out for the group and your image."

"Kevin I love you, But Screw my Image. I dont care what people think about me this is me. Im not a saint. I am, We are human beings. Who cares. Where in the hell does johnny get off *****ing about me being in a divorce when he cheats on his wife, his wife finds out and gives him a divorce that isn't real and get remarried. I didn't tell him what I think. I didn't cheat on my wife i left her cause i wasn't happy the same reason we left johnny years ago. Kev dont get me wrong I love Johnny like a father and im so thankful for what he does for us. But sometimes he has to mind his own buisness." Nick said in a huff.

"Nick I get it, I was just saying so you didn't have to get into it with Johnny. This way I can give Johnny the censored version so he doesn't fire your ***." Kevin said in a strong voice.

"Okay Kev I love you for looking out, but im okay. Im doing good and for once in a long time im happy. So can you please just be happy for me." Nick stated sighing into the phone.

Kevin smiled "Alright so now that buisness is taken care of, are you going to tell me who and what this mystery girl is to you?"

nick smiled the biggest grin " Well her name is Keria Marie, shes an Aupair here in Australia originally from Canada. She has a 7 year old brother and 2 loving parents. and Cat named mittens that she misses. She has the most amazing eyes, and shes real." Nick smiled in a dreamily way.

"she sounds interesting, Nick. So tell me more about her whats her body like im not shallow but i sware if your dating another paris hilton im gonna kick your *** all the way from there to yemen."

Nick chuckled nah the quite oppistie actually " Shes about 5"4, about 135 pounds, long legs, little bit of a belly, a nice ***, and Amazing boobs. Let me tell you she brings a new vison into my head of beautiful woman. she has the cutest laugh, and the best smile, and the cutest chin dimple. And-"

Kevin cut nick off and shook his head " Dude, your in deep you dont just fish with a rod, you use a whole net. Are you sure your ready for this, cause this doesnt just seem like a Fling. This seems real! Are you sure your ready so soon after breaking it off with Issabelle?" Kevin asked concerned.

"Are you sure shes not just after you for your money, name, and fame?" Kevin asked again after hearing silence from nick he learned silence from nick isn't a good thing it either means he hit a nerve and hes pissed. Or he hit a nerve and is making him think.

"Kevin, im 27 years old sometimes i think you forget that. Im not sure of everything but im sure of one thing. I really, really like this girl. shes perfect for me. Shes everything I am but most of all shes everything im not." Nick stated

Kevin smiled " Well im happy for you man, but please just be careful. Alright man I will but i got to go finish making my list, and shes almost out of the shower. Have good at your poker game tonight. Love ya man! give A.J a hug for me, for the new little backstreet, or backette hes gonna have."

"Bye" Nick said and hung up before kevin got anything out...

Little did nick know he was on speaker phone and all the boys were sitting around already playing poker it was 10:00pm where they were not 9:00. They all new nick was horrible with time differences.

A.J then spoke up first " Guys you all owe me 50 bucks I feel kid of bad taking the love sick fools money though, but ohh well this can go towards the backstreets, or backettes as nick likes to put college fund." A.J smiled
The rest of the guys groaned, A.J snickered out loud

" If nicky only knew how much money I have made on him over the years."
"alright kev its your turn to deal man."

Howie laughed " Yea you would be a dead man, hed be pissed he hates it when we gamble with his love life."

Brian shook his head "Lets play this game, but wait 100 bucks says he brings her to howies wedding." Brian showed A.J the money.

"I see your hundred and raise you 50" A.J said while they were waiting for kev to finish dealing.

"your on Alex, Gambles of the heart part 10." Brian laughed.

"Alright lets get this game started, back up." Brian said while taking a drink of his root beer. Ever since A.J went into rehab, they always drank root beer instead of beer. For respect, and so the rest of them dont fall down the beaten path.

Nick saw keria walk out in her clothes and whistled " you look fine baby, although I do prefer you in my jersey"

Keria walked over to nick and wrapped her arms around his waist from the behind " Nick you know I love your look you got going on, but aren't you cold?"

Nick laughed " Is it that obvious?"

Keria shook her head " Dont tell me you dont have any clean clothes either?"

Nick blushed " No, not really only my towel I need to do laundry but i need to wait until its after 10:00 pm do to my laundry." nick laughed cause it was true.

Keria smiled and gave him a kiss, when they pulled apart nick said " **** your in a kissy mood."

"Well we make a good pair then dont we babe? your hugable guy, and im just a kissable girl." Keria smiled and kissed him one last time.

"I guess your right". Nick said and hugged her tight.

"Nick, go get dressed and bring your laundry you can do it at my house while i make us and nickers a decent brunch." Nick couldn't help but smile and laugh.

"Keria, its so obvious your canadian now, the way you say house and brunch. Only Canadains say stuff like that."

Nick noticed the evil eye he was getting " But Canadians are super nice, and your very sexy, and cute, and hot. Did I mention beautiful?" Nick said quickly.

Keria smiled " Nick your lucky your good with words".

Keria helped him pack his dirty clothes and found him some clean clothes rolled up in the bottom of his suitcase mixed with clean and some dirty clothes.

"you ready to go?" Keria asked.

"Im ready but are you sure your ready?" Nick asked taking her hand and squeezing it.

"I think I am, if im not im going to learn to be" Keria said starring straight into his eyes picking up on the double meaning to his question.

"Good, cause i kind of like having you around." Nick smiled and kissed her before he opened the door and locked it on the way out.
